The Band of the Pacific is in Australia for a series of concerts celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Hamel, which is significant because it was the first time that American forces were under the operational command of a non-American, in this case, an Australian commander. This combined force highlighted the importance of accomplishing international stability through our allied relationships, a tradition that we continue today, through these combined concerts.

The USAF Band of the Pacific had the pleasure of performing today at the Nepean Creative and Performing Arts High School for an audience of about 400 music students. Joining us on stage were members from the Royal Australian Air Force Band. Performing at high schools around the Pacific region is an integral part of the Band of the Pacific&#39;s mission. Reaching out to the future leaders of Australia and messaging about the importance of international relations is one sure way to cement the prosperity of the United States and Australia&#39;s future relationship.

Papana, our jazz ensemble, recently returned from their tour to Jakarta, Indonesia. We had the opportunity to connect with students from Bogor Fisheries University, Universitas Islam 45 in Bekasi and Pondok Pesantren As-Sa&#39;adah in Serang. Through our performances we were able to provide students with a positive impression of the US military. Along with the inspiring school performances, Papana had the privilege to perform at the prestigious Jakarta International Java Jazz Festival and on an AtAmerica broadcast.
The US Air Force is committed to promoting regional security and stability and supporting our allies and partners throughout the Indo-Pacific region.
